Kidical Mass Arlington -- Let's Get This Party Started

Kidical Mass Arlington -- Let's Get This Party Started

UPDATED plan for the inaugural Kidical Mass Arlington ride...

Meet Lubber Run Community Center's playground (parking should be easy, if anyone wants to drive to the ride)

Bike to Ballston, via W&OD and Bluemont Trail - 3.5 miles

Eat lunch (~noon) **

Bike back to Lubber Run (~1pm).

** Taste of Arlington is happening in Ballston noon - 5pm on Sunday. It's a great event. Lunch and the mini ride after lunch are completely optional, of course. Some people want to eat at a restaurant (like Vapiano) and some may want to eat at the festoval. Either way, you're welcome to head to the festival for lunch or after lunch.

It'll be helpful to have rough numbers, so if
you know you're a yes or maybe, please leave a comment or let me know!

Note: I did some recon and I really don't like the "trail" along 50 or the hairpin turn to get from 50 down to
the W&OD. So the planned route takes Park St across 50 (there's a
light there) to get to the W&OD.

What to Bring

* Bike(s) that are ready to ride (Air in the tires; Brakes that stop and a Chain/Crank/Cassette that goes)* Adults to accompany kids* Younger kids in seats or trailers* Experienced child riders (this is not a place to learn to ride)* Listening ears* Helmets for all* Appropriate clothing (be ready for whatever may come)* Sunscreen* Patience* Money & IDs* Water

The fine print

Kidical Mass Arlington rides are loosely organized bike rides for families. Rides ared planned to be safe and fun, but said safety and fun are the responsibility of individual riders and are not guaranteed by KMA or any of its sponsors. All kids should be accompanied by adults. All riders should wear helmets, whether or not they're pedaling. KMA encourages all riders to follow the law and common sense, and takes no responsibility for riders or others who do not. Riders will be asked to sign a waiver. Ride safe, have fun.
